Music2eye presents NOEMI*, a real time interactive musical sculptural system. NOEMI works by instituting a pleasant musical engagement between a human player and an autonomous artificial organism. The main objective of this system is to create a collaborative creative process between the machine and human beings, leading to unique and partly unpredictable results.

NOEMI is an interactive musical sculpture that uses its active listening sensibility to accompany, convert or improve the musical behaviour of the participants. The machine's overall behaviour also depends on its own moods and tastes. But the most important component comes from the way people interact with it.

As a beginner, NOEMI wants to become a talented musician, to be able to improvise and to engage musical dialogs with others. In order to adapt its behaviour to the musical abilities of the player, it learns how to make a distinction between experimented players and total beginners. As NOEMI has the possibility to evaluate the quality of the musical exchange produced with a specific person, it can, for example, shorten the experiment when it has been disappointed by the human's behaviour.

In order to improve its musical abilities and to produce high-quality music, NOEMI needs to encounter and play with many different musicians.
